These were not scars from sword cuts, but carbonized marks from high-temperature burns. Dark red cracks spread like spider webs, and the fire flowed into the lungs through the trachea, forcing him to cough up mercury blood with sparks.
Before the blood droplets hit the ground, they were evaporated into silver mist by the heat waves radiating from the spear body, emitting a strange halo in the moonlight.
Xu Yunfan's muscles swelled in the heat, and the soles of his shoes crushed the soil and rocks when he stepped.
The gilded spear swept across with the momentum and hit Chen Tiangang's right elbow that was blocking it. The steel skeleton made a crisp sound like porcelain cracking, and the broken end melted into a translucent orange-red gelatin, hanging down like melted glass syrup.
Chen Tiangang staggered back violently, blood as thick as mercury spurting out from the broken elbow. The sound of blood hitting the ground and corroding the stone slabs mixed with the smell of burning filled the air.
Before the third breath was over, Xu Yunfan had already spun to the back of Chen Tiangang.
The three breaths of fire energy accumulated at the tip of the gilded spear condensed into a bright white point and pierced straight into Chen Tiangang's back.
The fire energy accumulated for three breaths penetrated into the core, and the body vaporized, instantly causing a vacuum collapse, and Chen Tiangang's body exploded from the inside.
Xu Yunfan pulled back the hammer, and the liquid glass residue thrown off by the hammer tail burned honeycomb-shaped holes on the bluestone slab.
The heat of the battlefield had not yet dissipated, and the distorted air made the corpses on the ground look like they were covered by a layer of boiling water.
Thirty steps away, half a glass finger was stuck in the scorched earth. In the coral-like cavity left after the blood evaporated, a charred beetle was curled up.
The gilded axe was returned to the box, and the golden and fire veins on the axe gradually cooled down, and finally there was no abnormality.
Xu Yunfan immediately wrapped himself in black cloth. When he came out of the Linzi state, he sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, feeling extremely exhausted in waves.
The soreness in his muscles, the slight cracks in his bones from exerting too much force, and the dense crimson-purple lines all over his body made him look somewhat hideous and terrifying.
We can't continue to fight anymore. We need to rest for a while.
"You fought between life and death, wielding the heavy hammer in your hand, your potential was stimulated, and your proficiency in the Red Copper Cloak Hammer increased significantly."
"You used the Heavenly Cicada Power and realized the method of high-frequency vibration between bones. Your proficiency in the Heavenly Cicada Power has increased."
"Your muscles flex, your movements are like thunderbolts, you keep advancing and dodging, striding and twisting, side-blocking, and your sprinting proficiency has greatly improved."
'...'
The proficiency information prompts on the attribute panel on the horizon are almost displayed in a screen-filling manner.
After a battle, his leather training proficiency was only two or three hundred away from perfection.
He looked back at the Jilei Mountain in the distance. Even though it was so far away, he could still see flames rising into the sky and thick smoke reaching the clouds.
Putting the iron box back on his back, Xu Yunfan picked up the broken hammer and waited to find someone to forge it again.
He stroked the iron box behind him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this time the gilded hammer was easier to use than last time.
When Xu Yunfan was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, caught a glimpse of a red glow from the corner of his eye, and turned to walk to a pile of minced meat.
After picking up a branch and throwing it away, I suddenly saw a piece of iron the size of a palm.
Take it out and take a look.
Golden Cicada Body Refining Technique.
There were a few large characters written above the iron sheet.
Xu Yunfan stroked the dents on the iron sheet, not knowing what material the iron sheet was made of, and a slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips.
The seemingly messy lines on it actually revealed the direction of muscle texture after being washed by heavy rain.
"call out!"
A whistling arrow passed by his ear and pierced three inches into the ancient cypress tree behind him.
Xu Yunfan looked up and naturally realized that the sound of the fight with Chen Tiangang had alarmed the Hu Ben Xuanjia Army patrolling at the foot of Jilei Mountain.
Fifty feet away, the black-armored cavalry had already formed a goose-feather formation. The leading captain's nine-ring broadsword gleamed coldly in the rain, and he had already charged forward alone on horseback.
"Are you Tiger Guards and Black Armor usually this brave?"
Xu Yunfan couldn't help grinning. When he put the iron piece into his arms, the captain's nine-ring knife chopped down on his head. Xu Yunfan turned around and swung his arms, making a sound of wind and thunder.
Although he couldn't use force, the opponent was at most a second-level martial artist, so he didn't need to muster any energy.
"clang!"
The broken long handle of the hammer hit the back of the knife first, and the iron knife weighing dozens of pounds broke with a sound.
Xu Yunfan himself was stunned. The way he used the force of the previous attack was that he subconsciously used the vibration technique of the golden cicada's wings flapping in the Tianchan force.
The bones were shaking and the high-frequency vibrations were so strong that a punch could easily turn a person into a pulp. However, the huge iron sword was easily broken by this blow.
The remaining seven riders thrust their armor-piercing spears at the same time, only to see Xu Yunfan's back muscles undulating strangely.
The tip of the spear scraped across the skin, leaving only a white mark on the surface.
He stepped forward with the arch of his foot, spun around, and the long handle of the fine steel hammer in his hand spitted out like a poisonous snake.
The Adam's apples of the seven oncoming Black Armor soldiers sunken almost at the same time. The Black Armor cavalrymen fell off their horses, holding their necks, and stared at their twisted cervical vertebrae with bulging eyes.
After clearing the enemies in front of him, Xu Yunfan did not hesitate at all. He arched his feet and exerted force. His body was like an arrow from a bow, and he rushed into the old forest nearby and disappeared.
Although the remaining black-armored cavalry roared in anger, they could only watch Xu Yunfan escape.
Cavalrymen are already at a disadvantage when fighting on dismount, let alone rushing into the woods with spears in hand, which is tantamount to seeking death.
Xu Yunfan stopped only when he reached a mountain stream where there were few people around.
This place is more than a hundred miles away from Jilei Mountain.
As he had hunting skills, he concealed his movements along the way, so he didn't have to worry about being chased by enemies.
I randomly hunted a musk deer, cleaned it in the stream by the river, squeezed a few handfuls of seasonings and side dishes that grew everywhere, squeezed them into juice and smeared it all over the cleaned musk deer, then built a bonfire and slowly roasted it.
Fortunately, he always carries some condiments in his pocket, otherwise it would be difficult for him to eat as he has a picky taste.
After everything was ready, Xu Yunfan shook the iron sheet with his backhand and studied it carefully.
This Heavenly Cicada Body Refining Technique requires the Heavenly Cicada as a guide, and then needs to induct lightning to temper the body. It can only be practiced by using the numbness feeling when the lightning is gathering. It can strengthen the flesh and blood and further enhance the blood and physical fitness.
"The heavenly cicada weaves its cocoon, thunder and fire forge gold..."
This is a secret weapon!
Xu Yunfan cheered up.
Secret martial arts are different from traditional martial arts. They are not limited to certain realms and can enhance a person's blood and energy.
Why is it that any random warrior from those aristocratic sects is stronger than warriors of the same level from ordinary sects? It is because they practice secret martial arts that improve quality and efficiency.
The conditions for practicing secret martial arts are very strict, and it is difficult for ordinary sects to gather all the necessary skills.
No wonder the Tianchan Sect chose Jilei Mountain as the site for its mountain gate and erected a Lei Tower on the top of the mountain.
If he didn't have the systematic knowledge of Tianchan Sect, he wouldn't know this.
Perhaps it really was a first-rate sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past.
However, what excited Xu Yunfan was that to learn this secret martial art, one did not need to practice the Heavenly Cicada Force or the Thunder Tempering to master it. As long as one practiced the Heavenly Cicada Force to perfection, one's own bones would vibrate and the state would be adjusted to a certain strange vibration state. This would greatly strengthen the body and greatly enhance the horizontal training of the Heavenly Cicada Clothes.
